WWE’s Great American Bash held at the Center Stage Theater was shaping up to be one of the priciest summer events. However, just a day before the July 12 show in Atlanta, Wrestletix reported a notable decrease in ticket prices, surprising many within the wrestling community.
On July 11, the lowest cost for standard admission tickets dropped sharply to $95.75 from the previous minimum of $243, reflecting a steep reduction of over 60%. This unexpected price cut came despite the event nearing a sellout. Further details showed that there were only 43 tickets remaining out of a total setup of 772, with 729 tickets already distributed. Although seats were nearly sold out, the price change suggests that demand did not meet the initial high price expectations.
The venue’s small size and historic significance initially made the event highly sought after. Still, WWE’s late decision to lower ticket prices indicates a preference for selling out a proper home ground rather than holding onto inflated prices, especially as AEW events often emphasize the value of having a packed house.
